Imported WMV blurry
Hi!
I have a WMV file which has a 1024×768 resolution and looks fairly decent when I open it directly with Windows Media Player.
However, as soon as I import it into Premiere Pro 2.0, the video is noticeably diminished without doing anything to it. I’ve tried exporting back out in multiple HQ file types and it still looks bad.
Once it gets into Premiere, I can’t get it to hold it’s original quality.
I thought that by scaling down the 1024 image into 768, it may be causing the issue but I’ve tried turning off auto scaling and adjusting it manually – same result.
Any thoughts??
Thanks!

The video will look very different in the viewport in Premiere regardless of how you import it. However, are you exporting with compression at all.
To playback a WMV properly, Premiere most likely is decompressing the file first. If you export to a compressed file format, you are likely going to see more artifacts. What is the subject matter of the footage? If it is a desktop screen cast, for example, scaling it down will produce noticeable artifacts no matter with or without compression.
